Comparison isn't a "trap." Comparison is CRAP! Or so says the LBV (Laura Busse Version) of the Bible

We've all had our walks of shame. It's only when we're vulnerable with others and God that we can begin the slow process of overcoming it.

This is two minutes of exactly how NOT to use an Alaska chain saw mill to mill your own wood. Maybe the best safety tip here is to get decent sawhorses. No animals or appendages were harmed during the making of this video!

We kicked off the RESILIENT Study with a great night of praise and worship with the Flatirons Church Band!

On building a life of resilient faith BEFORE the storms hit.

A night of praise, worship, and inspiration at Flatirons Community Church in Lafayette Colorado. Building a resilient faith before the storms of life hit.

On January 19, 2021 we lost our 23 year old son, Evan to suicide. This smart, generous, empathetic, and compassionate young man finally lost the battle he had waged with depression for years. We were devastated and my faith was shaken to the core. How could a good God, who I had prayed to for years to save my son, a God who had come through every time, let Evan take his life? After months of wrestling with God, I finally got up the courage to share my story with the women in my ministry on a Zoom call. After that call, I’ve received tremendous feedback on how our story is helping others in their struggles. I’ve been encouraged to share it with you. Share how God has sustained me, even in this darkest valley, and how Jesus has been my guide, each and every day. This is a short clip from that call.

I hope this video will encourage your faith and strengthen you, so you will know what to do before you walk through your darkest valley. _________________________________________________________________________ The stigma and shame of mental illness, depression, anxiety, and addiction make it difficult to ask for help.
